Yep, count me in. In the late 90’s when I was trying to get an airline pilots job I was discriminated against. I had applied at United, but their hiring matrix for a a non-minority required 7000 hours minimum total time and you had to be gaining that time at the rate of 1000 hours per year, which was only possible if you were flying for a regional for $17,000 per year; I was a corporate pilot. If you were a minority, you only needed 800 hours total time period to get an interview. I got this information straight from the head of hiring at United after he called me because I had used my “white privileged”, ie. networking skills, to get the VP of United to recommend me for a pilots position. He told me I was the kind of person he wanted to hire, but his hands were tied by their discriminatory hiring practices.
They did me a favor, I now fly boxes and don’t have to worry about the general public nor the flight attendants; what a blessing! United is still discriminating where ever they can, I have a beard, because I fly for the only major airline in the US that allows one, and United, despite all their woke virtue signaling, won’t let me Jumpseat on them because I have a beard. Now I’m being discriminated against for farcical hair by a woke airline, whose CEO is a drag queen. Yeah, the CEO is a drag queen, but I can’t Jumpseat with a beard. Nuts! What wacky world we live in.
Oh and I’ll add that their pilots have no issues at all jumpseating in my cockpit while I’m flying the plane with a beard; I just can’t ride in their cockpit with a beard while their cleanly shaven faces are flying it.
